The Shop on Main Street (Obchod na korze, 1965) - Trailer 

This is one of the most touching films I've ever seen in my entire life. I could watch it over and over. The way he followed her at the end, to reach his dreams of taking care of the sweetest old lady he knew, and making eachothers company forever and far from prejudices and hatred....

Its Slovak village, Slovak state, Slovak peasant, Slovak actor...

I saw this film when first released. It haunts me to this day. The message powerfully documented. The acting superb, musical score remarkable. Kaminska and Kroner are on target as is the supporting cast. My favorite film of all time.

"An inept Czech peasant..." He is Slovak, not Czech.

Is the full movie available on RU-vid I cannot find it?

You should change the description and check your facts. Although this movie was made in Czechoslovakia - a country of two nations Czechs and Slovaks - the theme takes place in fascist Slovakia. During WWII Slovakia became voluntarily independent fascist state with the strictes anti-jewish laws. Czech land was under Nazi Germany protectorate - involuntarily, therefore they were occupied. This film takes place in Slovakia, in a Slovak village, the actor is Slovak, the whole film is in Slovak language and the theme of the film takes place in fascist Slovakia. You are twisting historical facts and also the content of the film.

No filme checo A Pequena Loja da Rua Principal, de Jádar Kádar, temos a história de um homem checo, que mora numa cidade da Checoslováquia,ocupada pelos alemães durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. O filme narra os acontecimentos que suceder-se-ão a tal indivíduo, quando o seu cunhado, um militar á serviço da Alemanha, lhe incumbe uma "inusitada situação". Menção Especial para as atualizações de Jozer Kroner e Ida Kaminska , no Festival de Cannes de 1965 , ocasião em que o filme disputou a Palma de Ouro no festival Francês, e Oscar 1967 de Melhor Filme Internacional representando a Checoslováquia, são um dos prêmios desse filme checo que, através de uma narrativa dramática, aborda o tema das dificuldades da solidariedade entre os indivíduos quando estes estão envolvidos num ambiente de Guerra, e as consequências para os mesmos devido tal situação. Triste retrato da Checoslováquia e o sofrimento do povo checo judeu durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial,este A Pequena Loja da Rua Principal é um filme excelente que recomendo para apreciação! No mais, recomendo A Pequena Loja da Rua Principal!

Czech movies. Film studio barrandov prag.

I wonder how much precious currency came from Israel and the USA to make this film in Czechoslovakia. It is the usual naive film with the good and bad guys to indoctrinate the young people of the generation on duty. Even before making the film they knew they would win a lot of prizes. A deal for everyone.
